A microwave oven doesnât heat up your kitchen as much as a conventional oven, reducing the load on your air conditioner. Of course, this factor only matters during the summer. If you can fit the food you are cooking into a countertop toaster oven, cooking it there will use less energy than a conventional electric oven.
Sonoran Pronghorn. Multimedia Gallery. A geographically and genetically distinct sub-species of pronghorn, the Sonoran pronghorn is smaller and lighter in color and is adapted for survival in desert conditions. The males weigh up to 130 lbs. and females up to 110 lbs.
However, species that are unusually aggressive and well adapted do invade natural areas. In the mid 1900âs, there were approximately 146 non-native plant species (5.7% of the total flora) in the Sonoran Desert. Now non-natives comprise nearly 10% of the Sonoran Desert flora overall.In highly disturbed areas, the majority of species are frequently non-native invasives. These numbers continue to increase.bove 4000 feet, bullgrass (Muhlenbergia emersleyi) is a 3 ft tall, clumping native species that resembles fountaingrass. Its numerous small seeds with long (0.5 in) purplish bristles form loose, flattened, nodding banners that are unlike the cylindrical inflorescences of fountaingrass.
